The fall colours of October and November are the perfect inspiration for crochet projects. With a few skeins of fall colours sitting on my shelf, I have written up a very simple, one stitch pattern to use them up. If you’re looking for a cozy and practical project to use up some leftover yarn, this one is for you! Find the free crochet pattern below…

Notes:
– This pattern is written in US terms (find a stitch conversion chart here)
– Gauge is not important for this pattern
– The completed scarf measures approximately 64 inches long and 6 inches wide
– Turning CH 1 does not count as a stitch throughout
– This scarf can be easily adjusted in both length and width. To make the scarf wider, chain any number of stitches. To make the scarf longer, simply continue the alternating the blocks of colour until you reach the desired length
Materials Needed:
– Approximately 17 yards of worsted weight acrylic yarn per one colour block. This scarf has 16 blocks of alternating colours which is approximately 272 yards total
– I used Loops and Threads Impeccable but you are welcome to use whatever worsted acrylic you have on hand. For this pattern, colour blocks will be referred to as “colour A”, “colour B”, colour C” and “colour D”
